  1. Re:Was it justified on Apple Axes Head of Mapping Team · · Score: 1

    I do have mod points. But not enough to mod this entire discussion as Offtopic.

  2. Re:Amazon vs Ebay on Cyber Monday and Amazon's Online Dominance · · Score: 2

    Ebay actually has some great search features. You can exclude words and do OR searches as well.
    If you simply add "-case -protector -shell" Or even just specify a minimum dollar amount of $25 you would eliminate most of the crap.

  3. Fast Lane on California Legalizes Self Driving Cars · · Score: 1

    As long as they stay out of the passing lane I don't care.
    When I'm older, the youngsters will marvel at my ability to operate a motorcycle.

  4. Re:it's truly mind-boggling on Asian Call Center Workers Trained With US Tax Dollars · · Score: 1

    I can certainly add my 2 cents. I'm an American who is now looking for a job. I currently "work" in a call center. The company I work for opened a new branch in the Philippines and now 95% of what I used to do has been outsourced.
    We had 70+ people in my department. Now there might be 15. The company won't say anything officially but it's obvious our department will soon be closed. When your supervisors are looking for jobs, it's time to run!

  6. Re:Won't happen on Drug Turns Immune System Against All Tumor Types · · Score: 1

    My concern isn't with how well businesses are doing. It's with how well the patients are being taken care of and at what cost. When it's You laying on the table you'll find you're not too worried about stock values.

  7. Re:Won't happen on Drug Turns Immune System Against All Tumor Types · · Score: 0, Troll

    I agree. There is far more money to be made by treating symptoms then curing people. This is the sad state of the American medical industry.
    You can call bullshit, but in 5.. 10.. 15? years.. you may start to wonder whatever happened to this discovery.

  8. Re:Warned about what? on TSA 'Warning' Media About Reporting On Body Scanner Failures? · · Score: 2

    Those principles were bought by corporations while the country watched American Idle.

  9. Re:Aluminum Foil in the Wallet on Shmoocon Demo Shows Easy, Wireless Credit Card Fraud · · Score: 1

    I've drilled holes through the RFID chips in all my cards that have them. No need for silly wallets or wraps.

  10. Re:Use Namecheap on Wikipedia To Dump GoDaddy Over SOPA · · Score: 1

    I would boycott GoDaddy if I wasn't already doing so.
    I'd like to give props to namecheap as well. I've been using them for a couple years now and they've been very solid. Their UI is clean and there's no bullshit to deal with.

  11. Re:Do they care only about toys? on Google Incrementally Dropping Support For Older Browsers · · Score: 1

    Nobody is forcing anyone to use Google's services.
    Just like a merchant can require someone to wear a shirt and shoes in their store, Google can set their own requirements. If you don't like it, go somewhere else.

  12. Re:Bureaucrats on Department of Justice: FBI Too Focused On Child Porn · · Score: 1

    If they get rid of all the child porn, there will be no more supply to meet demand.
    Thus, people will make new child porn.

  13. Really? on Ask Slashdot: Are You Streaming-Only For Home Entertainment? · · Score: 1

    People still pay for cable TV?

  14. Re:This just gives me the impetus to go prepaid on How the iPhone Led To the Sale of T-Mobile · · Score: 1

    You actually can have an android phone on prepaid. You only need a data plan to activate the phone. Just pop in a friend's SIM card (which has a data plan) activate the phone, then pop your prepaid SIM in and your good to go. Get your data via wifi.
    If you really neeed it, t-mobile's prepaid plans allow you to pay $1.50 for 24 hours of data via the cell network.

  15. Re:Coolest part of the article on Statistician Cracks Code For Lottery Tickets · · Score: 1

    Easy, get a job at a convenience store.

  16. Re:What really concerns me on Mars Journal Issue Inspires Hundreds of One-Way Trip Volunteers · · Score: 1

    That depends on the goals of the mission. Why not study the effects of the environment on the elderly? And who's to say the man is in poor health just because he's old?

  17. Re:Shocking news: on PC Gamers Crush Console Brethren · · Score: 1

    Because it's poorly implementing DirectInput.

  18. Re:Pat down, or molest? on TSA To Make Pat-Downs More Embarrassing To Encourage Scanner Use · · Score: 1

    By definition; Nothing.

  19. Re:All this time they never realized on South Korean Cartoonists Cry Foul Over Edgy Simpsons Intro · · Score: 1

    Agreed. This a silly stereotyping and nothing more. This is no different then making jokes about blacks eating chicken, whites sucking at basketball, jews being tight with money, etc, etc. It doesn't mean it's true. It's just a stereotype. Chill out and laugh a little.

  20. Re:Just another reason on Early Kinect Games Kill Buyers' Access To Xbox Live · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You guys fail to realize that xbox live is a matchmaking service. The games are not hosted on MS's servers. Your xbox is connected to someone elses xbox. Just like a PC is connected to another PC. Live simply points the xboxes at each other. Your lag is a direct result of the connection between you and the xbox which is hosting.

  21. Re:Comfort Keyboard on Ergonomic Mechanical-Switch Keyboard? · · Score: 1

    I 2nd this. Been using Comfort Keyboard for nearly ten years and would never go back. I don't the elevated swivel things but the keys themselves are designed to give good feedback yet little to no impact on your joints. Very customizable and they have a variety of options.

  22. Re:Whatever works for you on How Do You Manage the Information In Your Life? · · Score: 1

    It's called, "ColorNote Notepad Notes"... I guess they were trying to fit in a bunch of keyboards or something with that name heh. It is a great app though.

  23. Re:Whatever works for you on How Do You Manage the Information In Your Life? · · Score: 1

    Oh, there's also a wonderful Android app that lets you put postits on your home screens. They're great for todo/shopping lists and things of that sort.

  24. Re:Whatever works for you on How Do You Manage the Information In Your Life? · · Score: 1

    I do pretty much the exact same thing. Google/Android Calendar keeps my upcoming appointments/events in order.
    If I'm out and want to do something when I get home, I put a postit in my pocket. When I get home I remove and handle any notes in there.
    Sometimes I'll e-mail myself if it's something I don't need to do asap once I'm home.

    I'm also a fan of whiteboards. I have one at home and one at the office.

    As far as hard drives go. I'm oldschool and have categorized partitions/directories as I'm sure many of us here do.

  25. Re:Uhhh... Yeah on Cheap Software Tools Give New Life To Stop-Motion Animation · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's like predicting that people will stop painting because we have applications like Painter.
